Any character made of simple and quickly recognizable shapes and colors, such that near anyone could draw a rough approximation even if they've never interacted with the source media, is part of why this is, too. The more folks Know Of a franchise, the more folks who like spooky stories will use that familiar franchise and its cozy nostalgia as the highlighter to their horror projects. You don't need to build up a character and spend time on rising action- it's Mario! You can jump straight to the weird stuff because *the baseline is already set.* See also Pikachu, See also Garfield.

I don't think I remember the "You Win" voice... strange how the Mandella effect works.

Gyrados shiny is spine chilling 3:13

Wow

Ur really dramatic

Sorry but this is not creepy at all those jokes music and "photos" make this unfun if someone what more scary iceberg

As someone with a Wii and Mario Party 8 I can confirm that today is Friday and I think I’m about to play some Mario par-

Spastic i said it hahahahahha

In the Detective Pikachu movie they state that Ditto was an experiment.

bruh this made me emotional, i really do miss club penquin :(

The fourth door might have been intended to be Yoshi's door before changing how you switch back to him.

As someone who grew up with this game, it’s hard to believe that anyone would think that the feeling of eeriness started in 2020 is wild. I used to get so anxious while playing this game that I would get nauseous and feel absolutely terrified. My (older) sister refused to play it at all because she was afraid of it. The DS version is completely different. It’s what got me back into the game. It doesn’t have that lonely, disorienting feeling. I’m now trying to complete the 3D All Stars version on switch. But yeah, this has always been a thing. I vividly remember wanting to progress in the game as a kid, but getting freaked out and not wanting to play anymore. And my favorite thing at that time was watching my dad play Quake, so it’s not like it was too scary for me lol.

Junge, diese ganzen Einblendungen und Effekte. Sowas von anstrengend.

I have to admit, I was one of those people who felt kind of strange about playing this. The game was always kind of ominous to me. Everything just feels like a liminal space.

its crazy to me i am already subbed to u i dont remember why(will stalk after i finish typing) but this video is so amazingly edited and i love the premise im surprised i havent watched already or been recommended more yet and ur only just about to hit 50k subs soon... i can see you at 1m easily keep it up bro

"L.T." Surge?! It's Lieutenant. Lieutenant Surge, have some respect

I love this game. But i do remember a lot of weird stuff happening when I was a kid. I do remember a black star that followed you like some of the lives in the game and if you touched it, it kicked you back to the start menu and your file would be gone. I also remember if you kept trying to go through a locked door without a key, like the 10th time bowsers laugh got super loud. As far as the dreams go, I had MULTIPLE dreams where if the player went through the door where cool cool mountain was, it was a endless hallway with the endless staircase music playing and there were double locked doors on both sides. I had another dream where I was playing as mario, flying around in the courtyard and there were 2 castles. Like the regular version and a shadow version. When I flew into the shadow version, a rainbow star started chasing me and eventually caught me and the screen had rainbow stripes with a corruption code. That one was really freaky because I was so young that I didn’t know what a error or corruption code screen looked like. Also had many dreams where bowser would be out in the open and chase you throughout the castle and the levels

Lol, spaz was often a word you would hear in 90's kids shows. Can't imagine a British person leaving there kid alone to watch American kids shows, only for you to hear them casually cursing 😂 Be like tuning into an episode of SpongeBob and hearing him randomly dropping the word "retard" to describe various things 😂

You can't forget about when in Mario 65, Mario says, "So long gay ni-"

I used to play this on the wiiu And yes i can confirm that it only allowed 24 hours if bought from the Eshop !

chill with the sound effects jfc

Personally, I always try to steer away from icebergs; they're cold and kinda indirectly did it off with the Titanic.

BRAIN ROTTING EDITING WOO

well mario 64 was a classic and shigeru miyamoto decided to start making mods for it more like fnaf.

38 min of talking about nothing really

Pretty much every N64 game nowadays it's just a horror game like come on now

The Mario 64 dreams, I have got them.

No

Still waiting for your return King 👑

For anyone wondering, the slur is an offensive term for people who suffer from cerebralpalsy and was invented as a way of talking down to people who suffer from muscle/brain conditions.

Clark didnt know the game was made by ljn, not Nintendo

Well, in one of Dittos dex entries it states about how Ditto was a failed experiment so I tuink Ditto may be a copy of Mew

Thought the theory was that Ditto was a failed Mew clone, not the other way around. Guessing you misspoke.

You didn't have to catch missingno for the multiplication glitch. Just encounter it

It’s good that the court taught the kid not to Persue frivolous lawsuits… I hope he chose a different career other than ambulance chaser…

Dont forget when bowser glides in mk8

Isn't "Porygon did nothing wrong" actually correct because it was Pikachu that caused the flashing lights? It should have been Pikachu that was banned!

Summary: a kid got butthurt and got his dad to try and sue nintendo

Regarding the section on the shadow/silhouette Mario, it almost certainly occurred that some people encountered weird glitches where extra Marions would appear on screen. I recall back in the day a few people were be inspired by these sort of glitches and created Machinima series in SM64. Shade and the Spirits, Luigi and the Time Crystals and so on.

Sooooo baaaaaddd - Kid

Spinda is cute. Thats redeemable enough.

I use british english and didnt know it was a slur

I can testify that as a child, I found this game both horrifying, dreadful, and entirely mesmerizing. It always felt so lonely. To be fair, I also spent a lot of time playing the flower petal picking game, and that game is kind of lonely considering the theme imo.

15:11 yea i mean they lady at the pokemon center was named nurse joy.. lol

R̺o̺w̺l̺e̺y̺ s̺u̺e̺d̺ t̺h̺e̺m̺!̺!̺!̺ 😮😮

Why where the cartridges in nes snes and mario 64 so huge and thick bro

Scary mario 64 mods: im the scariest Nintendo thing ever!! Luigi's mansion 1 game over screen: before me

I think the kid won too 😭

So off topic, but the box art for Mario party 8 looks absolutely horrendous. It’s like Nintendo took several renders from different games and slapped them all on
